Cy's anxious to be elected and all, but you know his politics are more of a joke with him than anything else.

And any rap Heman or Tad could give him would only make him fight harder.
And he wouldn't talk politics at all; didn't seem to give a durn about 'em, one way or t'other.

No, 'twas somethin' about that letter, the one I forgot so long.

He wanted to know why in time I hadn't given it to him when it fust come.

He was real ugly about it, for him, and kept pacin' up and down the barn floor and layin' into me, till I begun to think he was crazy.
